Chapter 409: Temptation
In the high-rise building of the government office, through the curtain, a few figures silently watched the steward below and walked into the backyard of the government with a group of new arrivals.
"Lord Zhao, how do you determine which assassin is King Yu?"
Xun Yu looked at Zhao Gao, who rushed back from the side, and asked curiously.
Zhao Gao Yuguang easily glanced at the back of this group of subordinates, and said leisurely:
"Is Lord Xun doubting the strength of our net?"
Zhao Gao continued in a light tone: "There are a total of twenty-seven people in this batch, and twenty-six of them are our people!" ”
Jiang Lao next to him raised slightly, revealing a surprised gaze.
But Zhao Qi's face did not change, and his eyes looked directly into the distance.
Huanzhou is the territory of the Chu Palace, if they can't control the overall situation, wouldn't it be a joke.
Xun Yu's face was stunned, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "Sure enough, with the existence of a net, it can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
"What Lord Jia gave, I have already distributed to four of these twenty-six people, Lord Xun, you just tell him how to die." Zhao Gao turned his head to look at Xun Yu and said.
Xun Yu said: "When the feast is lively tonight, it should be the time when he is the most relaxed, so start from that time." ”
Jiang Lao on the side frowned lightly and said, "Lord Xun, he has seen Ah Qing now, what if he is scared away." ”
"No, when he sees Ah Qing, he wants to stay here, his mission is to assassinate me, if a new group of subordinates suddenly runs away, it will be easy to arouse our vigilance." Xun Yu looked at the blue shadow of the Huxin Pavilion and said indifferently.
The "Ah Qing" in the Huxin Pavilion is naturally fake, and he is Ah Qing's stand-in.
In fact, there are not only A Qing's stand-ins, but also himself, Jia Xu, Li Si, and Zhong Liyi, all of whom have one or several stand-ins.
This was Li Yuan's whim when he was assassinated, and ordered Zhao Gao to find and cultivate stand-ins for various people in the Chu Palace.
"It's time to let this Ah Qing come back, it's enough to expose her once, don't let this assassin get in touch too much, it won't be good if he finds out that it's fake." Zhao Gao commanded.
"Yes!"
Zhao Qi immediately received the order and left quickly.
After Xun Yu saw Zhao Qi leaving, he looked at Zhao Gao and said with a serious face:
"Lord Zhao, have you found traces of Ah Qing around the Imperial Dynasty?"
Zhao Gao's brows furrowed slightly, and he also showed a trace of annoyance, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness once said that Ah Qing is leaving in the east direction, I have sent someone to the east to investigate all the way, only found a trace of Ah Qing in the territory of a dynasty called the Dawu Dynasty, if it is normal, Ah Qing has already obtained her things, and now she has already returned to the dynasty."
Zhao Gao showed a puzzled expression as he spoke.
The people he sent have all returned from the Dawu Dynasty, and according to Ah Qing's speed, they should have come back a long time ago.
"Alas, I hope Miss A-Qing will come back soon, Your Highness's biggest concern now is whether King Yu has the combat power of the Emperor-level realm." Xun Yu sighed.
No matter what the situation of the battle is, Li Yuan and Jia Xu have already prepared for the worst, not only King Yu, but also the imperial court.
Their territory is expanding too fast, and what they need most is time.
"But we can now fake a message to King Yu, we can use the remnants of the Wang family to send a message to King Yu, informing Ah Qing that he is here, plus Fu Dezhao's silent death, in this way, it is equivalent to Ah Qing in Huanling County." The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth were raised, and there was a playful look in his eyes.
In this big scene tonight, a peak venerable who paid for his life was enough.
……………………
When night fell, tonight was particularly lively in the palace, and Xun Yu, who was also the organizer and the highest status, naturally wanted to show up.
In Xun Yu's simple two sentences, everyone quietly listened to Xun Yu's words of congratulating the King of Chu, admiring the King of Chu, and looking forward to the future, which made everyone burst into tears, overjoyed, and burst into fierce cheers from time to time.
In the backyard of the mansion, a group of newcomers could only stand outside the corridor and watch from a distance as a neatly dressed maid walked to the front yard with wine and food.
Many of the twenty-seven subordinates smelled the fragrance and swallowed their saliva.
Even a little stomach growled.
"You remember, the first thing you do when you come to the government is to obey the rules, and because today is your first time coming, you have a very good opportunity to observe how the people of our government do things and what they serve the big people."
The chubby steward walked back and forth in front of them with duck steps, especially when he saw some of them swallowing saliva and croaking their stomachs, looking like they had never seen the world, and showing disdain.
"Lao Chen, you go and inform the chef immediately, as usual, make a separate meal and send it to the bamboo courtyard, and remember to carry a hundred catties of tender bamboo."
At this moment, a brightly dressed maid stood under the eaves of the porch and spoke proudly to the steward.
The steward immediately bowed his waist, showed a flattering face to her, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, go right away."
"Hurry up!" The maid turned around and left.
After seeing her leave, the steward's flattering face immediately regained its calm, glanced at the people next to him, and said:
"Alright, just stay here and don't move, and I'll tell you when something happens."
After a brief remark, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.
"Cut, too, is here to be a threat, and in the eyes of others, he is not a dog calling around."
Among the subordinates, Fu Dezhao slowly lowered his head, the maid just now should be Ah Qing's maid.
Also, how could a peerless genius have dinner with these little people in the county.
When Steward Chen left, a man with a sharp beak and cheeks, who didn't look like an honest man, directly showed a disdainful expression.
"Eh, don't talk nonsense."
A simple-looking man next to him immediately tugged at his sleeve and looked around nervously, the two seemed to know each other.
"What are you afraid of, Lao Tzu's uncle is Hou Defu, the captain of the city gate guard!" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man grew louder.
All eyes were on the man.
When he felt everyone's gaze, the man became even more proud, raised his head high, and swept his gaze towards them.
Many people met his gaze with a humble smile, but others showed disdain.
"Hehe, a small team leader, such a big official, we can enter the government to do things, it doesn't matter who is behind it."
A rather handsome man couldn't get used to this man's arrogant appearance, and sneered.
The handsome man is the most handsome of the twenty-one men, so the six women here frequently look sideways.
"Yo, you're a bit of a clue about that, let's hear it." The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was even more unhappy with this delicate man, and he was not convinced.
"Heh, it scares you to death when you say it!" The handsome man said disdainfully.
"Eh, come on, come out and see if you can scare me to death!" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man took a step forward and said coldly with a cold gaze.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, wait for others to see it, and we'll be punished by the end." It was still the honest and honest man who saw that there was about to clash, and the man who grabbed the sharp-beaked monkey's cheek anxiously stopped.
"Don't pull me, I want to see what you have with this little white face." The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man shook off the honest man's hand.
"You really take yourself seriously, don't you?"
The handsome man's face was cold, and he also took a step forward, directly facing the man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks.
Seeing that the conflict was about to start, many of these newcomers opened their eyes one by one, looking like they were watching a good show, and many of them retreated cautiously, looking around nervously, afraid that Steward Chen would come out and punish them together.
Fu Dezhao is such a person, and there are two people next to him who retreat to a position with him.
Fu Dezhao swept over the two of them, a man with a simple face, a little big physique, and an honest look, saw him look over, and showed a simple smile.
The other man, who was emaciated and looked like a bamboo pole, hid behind him more than Fu Dezhao, his body trembled, looking at the conflict in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he was extremely excited.
At this time, among the six women, a rather beautiful woman sneered:
"Hehe, they are all from the current government of the government, and they are pretending to be big people here?"
"Can you handle it?" The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks did not show weakness, he knew that this kind of woman looked down on him, so he scolded him directly, without giving any face.
When the handsome man saw the woman stand up, his eyes lit up, and he raised his chest to reveal his best side: "That's right, you shouldn't be like this kind of person." ”
"Yes, we all came together, and we should be united." The person next to him also spoke.
"That's right, that's right, if we work together, we can make our life in the government better."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Many people nodded, showing expectant eyes.
"Hehe, a group of subordinates are still talking about unity?"
At this moment, another arrogant man stood up and looked at the ridiculous remarks of this group of subordinates with a mocking face.
"Sweet, what do you mean?"
"Hey, you're talking too much."
"Leave a line in your work, and see each other in the future?" Suddenly, some people were dissatisfied
"Hehe, a group of ***, what do you have to meet?" This man was even more arrogant than the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man just now.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man saw that someone had joined him, and he looked excited, and said loudly:
"This brother is right, snakes don't nest with rats, you should know your position!"
"Yo, you are noble, so why did you come to the mansion with us to be a subordinate?" The handsome man sneered.
"There are three-six-nine people, and the subordinates naturally also have three-six-nine ranks, so how can you low-ranking people know what our high-ranking subordinates think?"
"Damn, come and tell me your background, and see if Lao Tzu dares to do it, you're done!"
"Yo, come on, I really don't believe it!"
Seeing that the conflict ahead was becoming more and more intense, Fu Dezhao smelled a strong smell of meat and vegetable buns.
Fu Dezhao turned his head to look, a speechless look flashed in his eyes, and the man next to him who looked honest took out a big bun from his arms from time to time and chewed it with relish, looking at the conflict in front of him intently.
He was the one who was rumbling in his stomach just now.
"What do you smell like?"
The thin man in the back twitched his nose and stepped forward to look at the honest man.
"Damn, where did you get this meat bun?"
The thin man was shocked.
"Shh
"Don't say it so loudly!"
The honest man bit the big bun and hurriedly covered the thin man's mouth.
The thin man hurriedly took a step back.
"Isn't this the bun we ate at noon, why do you still have it?"
The honest man bit off more than half of the bun, swallowed it in a few bites, and said quickly: "This is what Steward Chen gave me to eat." ”
"Steward Chen is your relative?" The thin man was even more shocked, Steward Chen, a person who can lift his head to the sky for them, would give them extra food to eat?
Unless you're a relative!
"No, no, no, no." After swallowing the other half of the bun, the honest man explained:
"You were all full in the afternoon, and I saw that there were still thirty-one buns, so I asked Steward Chen if I could take them all, and then he agreed."
"It's as simple as that?" The thin man looked incredulous.
"yes, it's as simple as that, and he gave it." The honest man nodded, then took out a bun and handed it to the thin man.
"Now, do you want to eat one?"
The thin man rolled his eyes, picked up the bun, approached the man, and smiled very kindly.
"Thank you, big brother, dare to ask your surname?"
"My surname is Zhang, just call me Lao Zhang." Lao Zhang said honestly.
"Where is Brother Zhang?" The thin man took a bite of the bun, stared at the conflict in front of him, and asked seemingly casually.
"I am a farmer in Qianglong Village, Heyuan Town, outside the county town." Lao Zhang also took a bite of the meat bun and said honestly.
"Farmer?" The thin man bit the mouth of the bun and wondered.
Fu Dezhao on the side was also attracted by the conversation between the two, and a hint of surprise flashed when he looked at Lao Zhang.
The person in front of me was right, don't look at it as a servant, you have to be a relative to be able to enter the government and be a servant.
This Lao Zhang is a farmer, and he can also let Steward Chen give Baozi, no matter how you say it, it's not easy to say it.
"Then why did you come so far to work in the county government?" The thin man was very clever and asked as he feigned curiosity.
"My mother asked me to come to the mansion."
"Your mother?"
"That's right, my mother said that we and Lord Xun are distant relatives, let me come to Lord Xun." Lao Zhang muttered as he chewed on the meat bun.
Fu Dezhao and the thin man's faces were shocked.
Lord Xun?
Now the whole government is the biggest this?
And Fu Dezhao's heart was even more shocked, the Wen Chenmeng of the Chu Palace's future history was extremely mysterious, and they searched the entire dynasty but failed to find any trace of these people.
The one next to him turned out to be Xun Yu's relative?
This time, Fu Dezhao's great curiosity was aroused.
"Which Lord Xun is it?" The thin man seemed to be greatly shocked, and his hand holding the bun trembled.
"It's Lord Xun in the government now, after I took the letter from my mother to the people in the government, I came in."
The honest old Zhang's voice was a little higher, and his chest was slightly uplifted.
"No wonder Steward Chen listens to Brother Zhang's words, if Brother Zhang doesn't give up, you will be my eldest brother in the future."
The thin man stuffed the bun into his mouth, grabbed Lao Zhang's arm with both hands, and said with extremely eager eyes.
"No need, no need." Lao Zhang was a little embarrassed to see the thin man so enthusiastic, but a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed all the buns in his arms, and there were five or six buns in total.
"Come, brother, let's eat buns together, and we'll work together in the future!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Without the slightest hesitation, the thin man took a meat bun and thanked him very happily.
Lao Zhang looked at the thin man who didn't dislike his buns, showed a happy smile, and casually stuffed a bun into his mouth, and when he was eating, he saw Fu Dezhao next to him, and very politely handed a few buns in his hand to Fu Dezhao:
"Come, brother, are you hungry?"
"Do you want to eat one?" (End of chapter)
